You should really listed to Salisbury. It's the best song they ever did. They were an underappreciated band that I was fortunate to be introduced to by a friend. I saw them at the Academy of Music in NY in 1972 with Manfred Mann as the opening act. David Byron great vocalist.

[@billg763]

Hey Nick. I'm telling ya man you need to check out some of there later stuff to give you an idea that they are still making great music to this day. Chaos and Colour is their most recent. "Freedom to be Free", "Hurricane" to name a couple.

[@anthonyschell9225]

Amen to that. The newer stuff is top notch too.

[@fenderchamp8241]

This album rocks HARD! Nice selection.

[@TerryKrysinski]

Look At Yourself-- the entire album is brilliant,Nick! Dive in....T

[@billhawkins1236]

One of the best Uriah Heep albums, although my picks off this would be the title track or " Tears in my eyes " the former rocks tremendously and takes you on increasingly speeding ending with awesome drumming by Ian Clarke. Worth a listen.😎👍👍👍

[@WavesRay]

This is the only album this drummer appears on. Ian Clarke did this masterpiece than disappeared. My favorite Heep album by far. The whole album is about perfect.

[@hatsbo1]

Look at Yourself is one of many Heep's albums which despite being rock centered, had many prog influences. This song had two breaks which played around with experimental vocals, organ and guitar.

[@NoLegalPlunder]

They were heavy prog, kind of like Rush back in the day. Heavy prog is my favorite genre.

[@NoLegalPlunder]

While their 70s stuff is undeniably awesome, some of their newer stuff is quite exceptional. The album Wake the Sleeper from a few years back is a masterpiece.

[@Straydogger]

You REALLY need to listen to the song "Salisbury" by these guys. It's EPIC!! I always say it's their "Stairway To Heaven" type song.

[@TerryKrysinski]

Yes...Yes and..YES!! Awesome epic track! T

[@stephencaruso760]

Uriah Heep was one of my favorite English bands in 1972 .. I also liked Atomic Rooster..

[@kentinatl]

VINCENT CRANE RULES!

[@stephencaruso760]

@@kentinatl remember the Crazy World of Arthur Brown? we used to have that record as kids in 1968 - ""FIRE""- the keyboards were off the charts!

[@kentinatl]

@@stephencaruso760 loved it when Arthur would be on a show..a whole event

[@user-tp8ut2vz4p]

I advise you to listen PILIGRIM and JULY MORNING!

[@davidgale7384]

That keyboard... Hammond B3 An absolute monster to hall around but an incredible sound. They used to hook them up to a whirling speaker mechanism, two horns spun by a variable speed motor. Heard this in a friend's basement (age 16), and his dad came down and asked what kind of devil worship music we were listening to.

[@Straydogger]

It's a Leslie speaker cabinet. 🙂

[@user-wp4wc3dm4e]

Paradise the spell!!❤ Please

[@witzendoz]

I bought this album when it came out, loved it, my favourite heep album, and I have quite a few.

[@jeffjohnson9911]

This is pretty much the Uriah Heep signature sound. heavily influenced by Vanilla Fudge and the early Deep Purple.

[@jimled50jl49]

Hi Nick, I have this album on vinyl since the 70's and actually bought it last year remastered on a 2 disc special edition. Disc 2 is different mixes never before released inc' a few live...but the original remastered is top notch never sounded sooo good !!! My favourite track is "July Morning" and it sounds amazing remastered .. the famous guitar whip lash near the end is a corker ! ... It isn't on the different mix cd2 and is actually nowhere near as good as the original. This track is brilliant. Do I mention ...again ... how it sounds like Deep Purple and Byron on vocals can scream like Gillan ? .... Maybe mention again he sounds exactly like Gillan on vocals when singing "Come Away Melinda" from the album "Very Eavy Very Umble". ....so much so I swore for years maybe Gillan secretly came into the studio and did it, because their music is so like Deep Purple. .... Hmm I wonder ? Lol Byee Jim X [ Been using both my name tags .. I get confused too ! ]

[@jimx5647]

Tell me about it !! 🤪

[@volkerthienenkamp9720]

Holzfäller-Heep in the beginning 😅 Not the best cut, but I like it, especially the 2nd half.

[@rudolfbecker4313]

Hallo Volker, lange nicht gesehen ... Holzfäller-Heep.... da falle ich ja vor lachen fast von der Couch. Die Heep zu Byron Zeiten waren die besten... viele tolle Songs, aber mein Favorit ist und bleibt der Magician's Birthday ... habe Heep 1977 live auf der Loreley gesehen, da schon mit John Lawton und Friiii miii 🤢 sorry, aber genauso wenig meins wie die Dame in Schwarz .... totgedudelt ohne Ende... schönen Abend ... PS: kennst du Jim Newstead ? da kannst du mich jetzt live sehen, wir haben zusammen ein Video gemacht 🤘

[@fenderchamp8241]

Very similar is Lucifers Friend. Keep Going, released a year earlier in 1970.

[@jimholt1888]

Nice reaction Nick! I wonder, what do you know from Blue Oyster Cult?

[@Jessiah19]

man this a rock song right here this sounds so cool and can u do my suggestions next i remember vocal mib bt deadmau5 and the space between by zero 7 and warm sounds by zero 7

[@jimmyraidjames]

Hey Nick Plz introduce Alexia to any song from Van Halens 1st album....Maybe ' Ain't talking bout love or Jamies crying??? All the songs are fire but these ones i mentioned got more airplay...have a good day👍👍😁😁

[@martinezq1]

prog metal ? prog rock?

[@mvunit3]

This and, "Look at Yourself" and "July Morning" are faves on this album, but its very solid through and through. Glad you're continuing into the Heep journey, but getting to know their _Earlier_ sound before you hear their later stuff. I think the "charm" of the earlier albums is the vocalist David Byron and Ken Hensley on vocals, guitars and Keyboards (especially the Hammond B3, and the "Leslie" that makes the keyboard sound unique too). That's "Mick Box" on lead Guitar, who is the only original member still making records . . . "25" albums! And see the background at the top near-right of screen with all those CD's and "Notes"? It's buried in there somewhere 🙂, though I can't remember if its the standard edition or a re-issue (but the original and special edition Lp has a reflective "mirror" on the cover, instead of just painted on). - Nice reaction Nick, and thank you Byrd \m/.
